Broken community link

[poVoq]

https://lemmy.ml/c/xmpp@lemmy.ml

has a broken link on the sidebar leading to https://lemmy.ml/c/xmpp and a 404 page.

I think it has something to do with how URLs are parsed which must have been improved a few weeks ago.

because as strange as it sounds but this community used to be accessible on https://lemmy.ml/c/xmpp/jabber with the community name being "XMPP/Jabber".

This seems to be related: https://lemmy.ml/post/1185491

This is bug is actually more serious than I thought as it also hides the community in the overview.

I just had a community randomly dissapear because of that. See:

https://slrpnk.net/c/buyitforlife@slrpnk.net (works)

https://slrpnk.net/c/buyitforlife (does not work)

https://slrpnk.net/communities (no sign of it)

Restarting the services does not make it appear either.

Edit: This community was initially working fine until I asked the mod to add an community avatar.

This might need to be moved to the backend repo as it looks like Lemmy is confusing this community for a remote one.

I can't seem to reproduce this? Can you list explicit steps for reproducing the issue, what you expect to happen, and what happens instead, with links and screenshots? Thanks.

See the linked topic. but this is fixed in 0.18.0 so I am closing it.
